View From Diamond Head--Waikiki


Here is a shot taken from the top of Diamond Head on Oahu, Hawaii. The most famous volcanic crater in the world is Diamond Head, is located the end of Waikiki overlooking the Pacific Ocean. To get there is not too difficult although you should be in decent health. There are two sets of stairs, one with 99 steps and the other, 76 steps. There is also a 225-foot unlit tunnel. The hike is classified as easy to moderate in exertion but is certainly worth the breathtaking, unparalleled view of the entire west side of Oahu.

Additionally,
  • Diamond Head Trail is 1 ¾ miles to the rim and takes about 1 ½ hours
  • There is NO shade schedule an early hike
  • Bring water
  • Bathrooms available at the trailhead
